Midlands Maelstrom Lists

[will]

.....

Stuff I've seen online is you use the andromedas as kind of terriers. Get them behind the enemy battle line with a couple of max thrust moves and use the bombers to pick off hull points and possibly cause the enemy fleet to either ignore or turn round to deal with them.

Interesting I always figured that launch acting after everything else would make them bad terriers (get shot before they do anything) but I suppose that it actually makes it more likley that your opponent will turn around and attempt to deal with them before they launch.


As everyone else is putting their lists up I'll stick mine on. These are the two I'm playing with. Need to test them out more to decide between them.

I think I prefer the second list as its more cruiser based but the first list has four torpedoes, a battleship and strike carriers. Both are in need of testing though, as Ive only played with variations of them.
